How to register

Online registration is the quickest and easiest registration method available to you – you will automatically receive an email confirmation and you will be able to re-enter the system at any time to make changes. You can also register by mail or by fax, though some additional conditions will apply. An email confirming your registration will be sent to you once the process is complete, no matter how you register. The onsite registration desk will also be available as of Friday, May 27, 2016.

Online

Log into to the Congress registration portal to register for Congress from early January until June 3, 2016. If you are new to Congress, you will be prompted to create a new account. Those who have attended Congress in a previous year (2008 to 2015) can return to their accounts to register for this year. You can also request a new username or password, if required.
